have arrived and he win start opera
lions in the building adjoining the
Enterprise restaurant Mr.. MesserlY
claims to be a first class cigar maker;
having passed several years in that
line of business, and to convince those

along its road, and this fact has prob
ably induced the Western Union to
build in here.

in town Wednesday evening, return
ing from Wood River. Nearly every
body met him with cordial greeting:
and apologized for the mistaken i'm
pressions in regard to his action OF

in acting for his constituents as they
sent petitions from all parts of the
county signed by members of the
convention which nominated him re

made, and urgently requesting him t.
take the action he did. The people Of

lions, and without the necessity of +;
bitter, costly fight

special agent of the Interior Depart
ment, assigned to duty in Idaho, was
| in town during the week. He succeeds

performing his duty is not to harras:
and annoy parties, but simply to SCI
that those who use the timber OF
public lands do so in Legitimate
manner and not ship it out of the ter
ritory for profit. A pleasing incident
of his trip to Ketchum was his unex

acquaintance whom he found il
George Metzler. They were boys to
gether in the town of Fairfield anG
had not seen each other for many
years.
